I'm making a trade with J Smith, and need help on proccesses. I have yet to send knives in the mail or UPS/FEDEX/etc... Help?



It'll be done early March, as I'm gone next week to BC. I need all the help I can get.



Saskatchewan, Canada to Tn, US... Cross-border trade... Customs hints and such are needed.



We all start with 10 fingers. Those with Spydies have 9 to spare, Still need a thumb. Good thing I still have 8 to spare...

I don't know about customs on a knife.I was going to send them through insured USPS in a padded envelope.Just sent a ball chain to scotland this way and did not have to fill out anything.Please if anyone can help it would be appreciated.
VW per the mail I just sent you I could send sooner but I would be worried that they might get to you before you get back.

Dude ~
Declare the knives as &quot;tool&quot; or &quot;gift&quot;. That'll steer you outta taxes which will be borned to the sender or receipient.. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Courier services such as UPS and FedEx are highly reliable.. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Fellows,

When I made a trade with Spyderholic some time ago, I just shipped mine to him as a &quot;cutting tool&quot; via UPS. This was from Western Canada to Colorado. It reached him the next day. If using UPS, make sure you check prices before you ship.

VM, I would look into Canada post rates for a small &quot;gift&quot;. I think that you want to insure it for full value &quot;just in case&quot;, and perhaps send it registered so that you know whether the recipient got it or not. I don't know what this costs, but it's pretty safe.

Good luck - Jeff.

I could not wait.I stoped by the post office today to check on the shipping and the arrival time.They said it would take at least 5 days,so I mailed it today.With luck it will get there the same day he gets back.
